HALLOWEEN
Safer Halloween is a project within the South West Regional Drug and Alcohol Task Force’s Safer Communities Program, operating as Safer Celbridge and Safer Maynooth.
SAFER stems from and builds on an acronym used by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for five high impact strategic actions on reducing alcohol harm:
● Strengthen restrictions on alcohol availability. ● Advance and enforce drink driving countermeasures. ● Facilitate access to screening, brief interventions, and treatment. ● Enforce bans or comprehensive restrictions on alcohol advertising, sponsorship, and promotion. ● Raise prices on alcohol through excise taxes and pricing policies.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) advocates community-action to reduce risky alcohol consumption and harm, arguing that community leadership and locally based action is key to building healthier communities and reducing the levels of harm currently being experienced at the local level.
The aim of SAFER Halloween is to create awareness of and where possible reductions in rates of problem drinking, underage drinking and alcohol-related harm, by focusing on promotion of positive community action which builds on the sense of community spirit and connectedness, for a healthier community.

HALLOWEEN RECIPES
Pumpkin Soup
Ingredients 2 tbsp olive oil 2 onions, finely chopped Pumpkin Soup 1kg pumpkin or squash (try kabocha), peeled, deseeded and chopped into chunks 700ml vegetable stock or chicken stock 150ml double cream For the croutons 2 tbsp olive oil 4 slices wholemeal seeded bread, crusts removed handful pumpkin seeds
Method STEP 1 Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan, then gently cook 2 finely chopped onions for 5 mins, until soft but not coloured. STEP 2 Add 1kg pumpkin or squash, cut into chunks, to the pan, then carry on cooking for 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally until it starts to soften and turn golden. STEP 3 Pour 700ml vegetable or chicken stock into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until the squash is very soft. STEP 4 Pour 150ml double cream into the pan, bring back to the boil, then purée with a hand blender. For an extra-velvety consistency you can pour the soup through a fine sieve. The soup can now be frozen for up to 2 months. STEP 5 To make the croutons: cut 4 slices wholemeal seeded bread into small squares. STEP 6 Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, then fry the bread until it starts to become crisp. STEP 7 Add a handful of pumpkin seeds to the pan, then cook for a few mins more until they are toasted. These can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container. STEP 8 Reheat the soup if needed, taste for seasoning, then serve scattered with croutons and seeds and drizzled with more olive oil, if you want.

SAFER HALLOWEEN ACITIVITY PACK HALLOWEEN RECIPES Caramel Apples
Ingredients 8–9 cold apples 1 and 3/4 cups (420ml) heavy cream 1 cup (240ml) light corn syrup 2 cups (400g) packed light or dark brown sugar 1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons; 60g) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions Prep the apples: Rinse the apples with water, then wipe completely dry. Removing the slippery waxy coating will help the caramel seal to the apple. Remove the apple stem and insert a caramel apple stick about 3/4 down into the apple. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat (preferred) or grease the pan with butter. Caramel usually sticks to parchment or wax paper. Make the caramel: Combine the heavy cream, corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, and salt in a 3-quart heavy-duty saucepan over medium heat. Do not turn the temperature up or down– keep at medium the entire time the caramel cooks. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the butter is melted. Once melted, brush down the sides of the pan with a water-moistened pastry brush and attach a candy thermometer to the pan, making sure the bulb is not touching the bottom of the pan (as you’ll get an inaccurate reading). Without stirring, let the mixture cook and bubble until it reaches 235°F (113°C). Some readers have been cooking to 240°F (116°C) and saying the caramel sticks much better to the apples that way. Stick with anywhere between 235°F – 240°F. Reaching this temperature should take about 15 – 20 minutes, though don’t use time as your guide because it depends on your stove. Don’t be alarmed if your caramel is taking longer, just use the candy thermometer as your guide. The temperature will heat up slowly, then move quickly, so keep your eye on the pot. Once at 235°F – 240°F, remove caramel from heat and stir in the vanilla. Avoid over-stirring which can create air bubbles in the caramel (and then on the apple). Allow caramel to cool for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened. If caramel is too thin to coat apples, let it cool and thicken for 5-10 minutes longer. Dip the apples: Holding the caramel apple stick, dip the apple into the warm caramel, tilting the pot as needed to coat all sides of the apple. Lift the apple up and swirl it around or gently tap it against the side of the pot to let excess caramel drip off. Place coated apple on prepared pan. Repeat with remaining apples. Enjoy immediately or allow caramel to set, about 45-60 minutes. If you want to wrap the caramel apples in cellophane treat bags for travel/gifting, wait until the caramel has completely set. If desired, you can add toppings. Immediately after coating in caramel and before the caramel sets, roll the caramel dipped apples in finely chopped nuts, toffee pieces, mini M&Ms, sprinkles, or coconut. You can even drizzle with melted chocolate or white chocolate, too. For displaying or serving, I recommend placing on wax paper or another nonstick surface. Even when the caramel has completely set, caramel apples may slightly stick to a serving dish. To eat a caramel apple, you can bite right into it or sit it upright on a cutting board and cut slices around the stick. (Or pull out the stick and slice.) These are great for sharing! Loosely cover and store the leftover dipped apples in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

BOXTY VARIATIONS Boxty Cake: Preheat oven to 475°F. Place a greased 8 or 9-inch cake pan or skillet in the oven to get hot. Follow the recipe above, cutting the amount of milk to 1/4 cup.
